We love this venue because of how bright and light it is. Also nice that in the case of bad or cold weather everything can easily be accommodated inside. The staff was extremely easy to work with and get ahold of and listened to our vision while also offering suggestions based on their experience. Perfect venue!!

Organized, Kind, and Helpful
The Blaisdell was more than we could have imagined for our wedding. Recently renovated and constantly improving their features, the space was beyond gorgeous! The new LED lights in the ballroom made our ceremony and reception feel glamorous and distinct from one another. When we first toured the space, they made it so easy to reserve our space and provided a fantastic list of recommended vendors - many of whom we ended up hiring. Janet was fantastic in helping us get the venue booked and contracts complete. Kaira was amazing from that day forward. She accommodated our silly "can we come check such and such out" requests, took the time to get to know our parents and the wedding party, made sure every detail of our wedding was prepared, and was an absolute joy throughout all of it. The hugs were genuine as we said our thank you at the end of the night and wish we could get married again simply to use the space all over again. Even before we said "I do" we were recommending the venue and Kaira to others. Without a doubt...DO IT!

Beautiful Venue, Fantastic Team
Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially when you're the bride and living in a different country. But Kaira at the Blaisdell made the experience enjoyable. She worked closely with my parents, organized visits for my aprents at the venue, coordinated FaceTime calls with me, answered all our questions quickly, and helped get the venue decorated for the big day. Overall just the best day and it wouldn't have been as smooth and lovely without the team at the Blaisdell.
